Dr. Ty Jones

My background includes four years post-doctoral research with CSIRO Advanced Technologies, Centre for Low Emission Technology, clean coal section. I was one of just nine delegates, and one of only two women, selected to participate in the 2009 Australia-Korea Leaders Next Generation Program, a joint Australian-Korean Government young leaders initiative focussing that year on the theme of “Green” Sustainable Energy International Project Development. I was subsequently appointed Southeast Asian BDM and project manager by a major Korean green energy manufacturing and solutions delivery company. After returning to Australia a year later, I joined the International Energy Centre to help establish Australia’s first Master degree program in Energy Studies, a consortium initiative between four universities and industry partner Xstrata. I moved to Papua New Guinea to hold a lecturer position at the PNG University of Technology.

Awarded 3 year merit based ARC (SPIRT) PhD Scholarship with RMIT industry-based partner CFCL (Ceramic Fuel Cell Limited)

Environmental Chemistry at the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department - University of Technology, Lae, Papua New Guinea

·Specialised in developing renewable energy projects, energy business services, and associated environment projects

· Responsible for the design and formulation of inorganic sorbent material that had a preferred capacity to capture trace and toxic elements such as selenium, arsenic, sulphur, etc. for IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) processes and Syngas cleaning systems.

·Researching novel solid electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity than zirconia

·Pyrolysis research

The Royal Australian Chemical Institute

I am passionate about pursuing environmentally related applied chemistry research, I also care deeply about teaching new generation students in this field.

2008 Completed a PhD

2009 Several innovative pollutant sorption materials were developed. These were successfully tested in guard beds that closely simulated industrial conditions. Heavy metal pollutant sorption capacities of 30–50% w/w were achieved.

2010 A number of MOUs for wind, solar and biomass energy projects in Australia and Vietnam, and have successfully developed an equal number of business alliance arrangements with energy sector business-chain partners across Southeast Asian regions.
